Marché Nocturne de Villefort

Summer evenings on the Place du Bosquet

Each summer, Villefort's Place du Bosquet transforms into a festive venue on Monday evenings. From 6 PM to 11 PM, the Marchés Nocturnes welcome local producers, artisans, and visitors in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Organized by the municipality of Villefort, these markets have become an unmissable summer event in the Cévennes of Lozère.

Local products and flavors

The stalls at the night markets showcase the rich Lozère terroir: sheep and goat cheeses, artisanal charcuterie, Cévennes honey, jams, pâtés, regional wines, and other local specialties. Visitors can taste on-site or take home products from local producers from the Villefort and Mont Lozère areas.

Open-air concerts every Monday

Each night market evening is accompanied by an open-air concert that creates a festive and musical atmosphere. The lineup varies from week to week, offering an eclectic musical panorama:

• Mickael Announ for chanson evenings
• Old'Up for varied and festive atmospheres
• Gérard Martin for a warm repertoire
• Les Borniquels for traditional sounds

A charming setting in the heart of Villefort

The Place du Bosquet, in the heart of the medieval village of Villefort, offers a charming setting for these summer evenings. Surrounded by stone houses and shaded by large trees, the square is perfectly suited for this type of convivial event. Families, passing hikers, and locals gather here to share a moment of relaxation and gourmet pleasure.

Market schedule

The night markets are generally held on Monday evenings from late July to mid-August, totaling four to five dates. The exact dates are announced each year by the Villefort town hall. It is recommended to consult the agenda of the Mont Lozère tourist office for the detailed program of each evening.
